Mineral Blood Test

Iron Status (1 Biomarkers)

Trace Elements (3 Biomarkers)

Copper

The body uses copper, an essential mineral, to make enzymes. This aids in the control of energy generation, nervous system function, and iron metabolism.

The results of a copper test are often interpreted in relation to and contrasted with ceruloplasmin levels.

Chromium - Serum

Manganese - Serum

The body uses manganese, a mineral, to create connective tissue, sex hormones, blood clotting factors, and to speed wound healing.

Calcium absorption and glucose control both depend on manganese. Manganese is a mineral that the body needs in modest amounts, but prolonged exposure can harm the central nervous system.

Nuts, green vegetables, and whole grains are excellent sources of manganese.

Other (1 Biomarker)

These are tests that the laboratory has traditionally processed but that weren't included in the test panel that you ordered from us.

These tests were sometimes already configured on the lab analyzers, making it more economical for the lab to include them. Others had a test run, but we eliminated it because it wasn't stable.

This indicates that it could have been impacted by the length of time spent in the post, by temperatures that were above or below normal, or by the technique used to collect the sample.

Despite the fact that we have run these tests on your sample, we have chosen not to comment on the majority of the results because it is impossible to guarantee their reliability.

Calcium

The most prevalent and crucial element in the body is calcium. It is necessary to the body's development and maintenance of bones, teeth, neurons, muscles, blood clotting, and cardiovascular function.

The interplay between parathyroid hormone and vitamin D maintains calcium levels at their ideal levels, which are necessary for strong bones.

Low calcium levels may make you more prone to stress fractures and slow healing.

Minerals (2 Biomarker)

While both are essential, minerals are needed in greater quantities than trace elements. Minerals must be obtained from the food you eat because your body is unable to produce them.

Numerous internal processes, such as the development of sturdy bones and teeth, maintenance of the body's fluid balance, normal nerve and muscle function, hormone production, and control of blood pressure, are all attributed to minerals. The majority of the minerals we require should be obtained from our diets.

However, you can discover that you are mineral deficient if you exclude specific food groups, follow a highly rigid diet, or have an issue with gut absorption.

Magnesium-Serum

In the body, magnesium is the second most prevalent intracellular divalent cation and the fourth most plentiful mineral. Less than 1% is in the blood, 50% is in your tissues and about 50% is in your bones.

It is essential for more than 300 metabolic processes, including the production of DNA, nerve conduction, muscular contraction, parathyroid function, and energy storage. Magnesium deficiency can result in weakened muscles, muscular spasms, changed creatine kinase, and changed lactate response to exercise.

Due to their propensity for low magnesium levels, athletes should regularly check their magnesium levels. Make sure to eat a meal high in magnesium. Over the years, there has been a lot of research on the use of supplements as a boost to performance and to treat deficiencies.

The results of the current studies are still ambiguous, and some persons who take magnesium supplements actually experience a faster than usual decline in magnesium levels.

Therefore, it seems, at least for the time being, that consuming a diet high in magnesium is the best approach to receive the magnesium you need.

Zinc - Serum

Zinc is vital for cell division and growth, immune system health, wound healing, taste, and smell.

Additionally, zinc cleanses the brain of harmful metals including copper, lead, and mercury.
